Hi, I’m The Garden Mama

A garden feels right when your outdoor space brings to life the same “you” as your home: welcoming, expressive, and connected to the world just beyond your door. I work with homeowners across the Greater Hartford area to create gardens that offer beauty and a sense of place. Whether you want a pollinator haven, a cozy outdoor retreat, or just a little more life in your yard, I’ll work with you to design a garden that fits your style and your soil.

I’m a West Hartford native, and my greatest joys are raising my children, making music, and cultivating gardens that let me give back to the land that sustains us all.

Start your garden journey

Every beautiful garden begins with a moment of connection — you, your space, and a vision of what could bloom there.

Personal Garden Consultation

A 60-minute personal garden consultation at your property where we explore your vision, questions, and goals.

Following our consultation, I’ll provide a drawn-to-scale planting plan designed just for you and your unique space.

Growing Joy

Imagine stepping outside and finding a blend of calm and natural beauty — birds and butterflies drifting through native blooms or simply a welcoming space to breathe.
